A movie crew has been dressing the third-floor newsroom to film scenes of the "Steve Lopez Movie" and have put metal jackets and overhead lights around the old columns (in reality, there is no overhead lighting in the newsroom). They remind me of "War of the Worlds" but other folks are calling it a Christo "Pinwheel" installation. The clutter is genuine, authentic L.A. Times clutter.
